Waltz #3 is a song about transitions : from one age of life to another, from one musical style to another, from one sex to another, from one faith to another, from one love to another, from one existence to another. It very implicitly evokes buried memories, friendships that have disappeared or appeared by magic, missed opportunities and strokes of luck, adolescent bands disowned or celebrated again, extreme joys which give way to great despair, dark evenings of November, introspection (undergone or voluntary), the energy which connects us to those who hate us and to those who love us, and the act of waking up every morning - in hell or in paradise - trying to become less of a bad person than the day before...

LYRICS :
Would we have the strength to rise up and go on
Like a long time ago?
Do they have the will to slowly crush our bones
Like they mean it?
First there was the girl way to far from your arms
For what it mattered
And all theses joys by proxy again that leaves you
Heartbroken
And I – oh I – could have sacrificed everything
For dedication
So guide me to that exact moment when my life
Will be worth it
Please be it, please be it tonight
Then I saw the love and the sparks in your eyes
All of a sudden
Until I was cursed again with no apologies
Just for breathing
And life became this slowly growing parasite
That suddenly kills you
Still I was lent the only privilege of all
I cannot mention at all
You're the one and greatest adventure of all
I won't recover at all
